If my mom had trouble with acne, does that mean i will too?

Maybe yes: Acne, like many things in life, has a hereditary component. If a person's mom and dad both had lots of acne as teenagers, then he will probably have teenage acne. If his mom had acne but his dad did not, then he can hope that he will be more like his dad!
